Happy 3rd Birthday J.R.!!!!!

I can't believe today my big boy turns 3~ It seems it was just yesterday when we traveled to Guatemala to be with him and celebrate his 1st birthday!

We took him to Disney World this weekend. We stayed at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, which I highly recommend it has a Mexican/Central American theme. He had a FANTASTIC TIME! We ended our weekend with breakfast with Mickey at O'Hana's in the Polynesian Resort!

Today, he'll have a wonderful day at the park and then off to the ice cream shoppe!

I'll post more pictures tonight.
